Chapter 336 - 297: Golden Core Scripture

Chapter 336: Chapter 297: Golden Core Scripture

At this time, the Artifact Spirit, Elder Wen, would send out an Artifact Spirit Avatar to appear beside the person.

Since the Wenqu Pavilion contained countless scriptures, it was impossible for cultivators to search through them one by one.

This Artifact Spirit Avatar could help every cultivator find the scriptures they needed within their granted authority.

One could also communicate with the Artifact Spirit Avatar to leave the Wenqu Pavilion.

Once the conditions for raising one’s authority were met, the Artifact Spirit Avatar could also grant them access to the next floor of the Wenqu Pavilion, unlocking more scriptures.

Only after hearing all this did Jiang Xu finally understand.

’So the Artifact Spirit Avatar is just an assistant.’

’The kind everyone gets.’

’I originally thought I was special, that only I had an Artifact Spirit Avatar. Turns out I was overthinking things.’

"You are currently on the ninety-ninth floor of the Wenqu Pavilion—the very bottom floor," the Artifact Spirit Avatar stated.

’The ninety-ninth floor?’

Jiang Xu looked up, trying to find stairs or a passage to the upper floors.

But his view was blocked by densely packed bookshelves. All he could see were stacks upon stacks of books and the tops of the shelves, which seemed to stretch on endlessly.

Above them was boundless darkness, as if the sky itself had been swallowed by this ocean of bookshelves.

Seeing Jiang Xu look up, the Artifact Spirit Avatar immediately knew what he was thinking.

It had seen tens of thousands of newcomers. It knew exactly how they would behave and what they would want to know; it had seen it all before.

"Don’t bother looking. Within the Wenqu Pavilion, each floor is an independent space. They aren’t physically stacked."

"Then how do I get to the next floor?" Jiang Xu asked, lowering his gaze.

"That’s simple. As long as you meet the conditions to enter the next floor, I can teleport you there."

"Conditions? What are they?" Jiang Xu asked.

"Wenqu Points, Scholar Level, profound knowledge, or submitting scriptures not yet recorded in the Wenqu Pavilion, among other things."

"The higher you go, the more conditions are required to advance to the next floor."

"For the first ten floors of progression, the difficulty isn’t high. You should be able to reach floor ninety quite quickly."

Jiang Xu thought for a moment. Instead of asking about the conditions to ascend, he asked the Artifact Spirit Avatar what level of scriptures each floor contained.

"The value of the scriptures on each floor of the Wenqu Pavilion differs."

"From the ninety-ninth floor to the ninetieth, the scriptures are all Mortal Level. They are as vast as the ocean and encompass everything imaginable."

"From ordinary mortal skills like shoe repair and tailoring, to the Emperor’s Heart Skill."

"Martial Arts Secret Manuals from the martial world, ranging from techniques for prolonging life and fitness to Innate Martial Arts."

"All are recorded on these floors."

"Starting from the eighty-ninth floor, you step onto the path of Cultivation."

"Floors eighty-nine to seventy contain techniques for Qi Cultivation."

"Floors sixty-nine to fifty, Foundation Establishment."

"Floors forty-nine to thirty, Golden Core."

"Floors twenty-nine to ten, Nascent Soul."

"And from the ninth floor to the first, Divinity Transformation."

’All the way to Divinity Transformation?!’

Jiang Xu’s eyes widened.

He’d only heard Master Fatty mention that there were Divine Powers inside.

’But he never said the Wenqu Pavilion was this absurd!’

’Reaching the top floors means access to even Divinity Transformation Level scriptures!’

’Divinity Transformation Level Cultivation Techniques and Magic...’

’How terrifying would those be?’

’If I could cultivate them... no, wait. Just learning one would probably cost tens of thousands of Limit-Breaking Points.’

Jiang Xu shuddered at the thought and pushed it out of his mind.

His goal in entering the Wenqu Pavilion was to find a Wood Attribute Technique that would allow him to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

’But from the sound of it...’

’Scriptures for the Golden Core Realm are on the forty-ninth floor and up.’

’Ugh.’

’That’s way too high up. It’s practically halfway to the top of the Wenqu Pavilion.’

’What am I supposed to do?’

"I need a Wood Attribute Technique that will allow me to break through to the Golden Core Realm. One that only reaches the Golden Core Early Stage is acceptable."

After Jiang Xu finished, the Artifact Spirit Avatar paused for a moment before replying.

"Five scriptures match your request. They are the *Cyan Wood Dragon Transformation Skill*, the *Life and Death Reincarnation Scripture*, the *Wood Emperor’s Mysterious Scripture*..."

"They require you to reach floor forty-eight, floor forty-six, and floor forty-one, respectively..."

"And to have the rank of Advanced Scholar with twenty-three thousand Wenqu Points; Advanced Scholar with thirty-five thousand Wenqu Points; and Advanced Scholar with forty thousand Wenqu Points..."

As Jiang Xu listened to the Artifact Spirit Avatar’s explanation, his heart sank, bit by bit.

’Not only is the Wenqu Point requirement enormous, but I also need to be an Advanced Scholar.’

’At this rate, how long will it take me to get a technique like that?!’

’Hm, wait a minute, I remember something...’

A thought suddenly struck Jiang Xu.

"I remember someone telling me that you can earn Wenqu Points by correcting the errors and flaws in the Wenqu Pavilion’s scriptures, is that right?"

"Correct," the Artifact Spirit Avatar replied.

"Then are there any flawed Wood Attribute, Golden Core Realm Cultivation Techniques? I can fix them!" Jiang Xu exclaimed, overjoyed.

Jiang Xu’s idea was brilliant—it killed two birds with one stone.

He could get the Cultivation Technique for free and earn a hefty sum of Wenqu Points at the same time.

After all, no one else possessed something as miraculous as his Limit-Breaking Points.

No one would dare practice a flawed Cultivation Technique until its issues were fully resolved.

But as clever as Jiang Xu’s plan was, the Artifact Spirit Avatar’s next words were like a bucket of cold water dumped on his head.

"Flawed Wood Attribute, Golden Core Realm Cultivation Techniques do exist."

"However, repairing them is a task for an Advanced Scholar. You are not even a Junior Level Scholar, so you cannot obtain the technique."

Jiang Xu hung his head, dejected.

’Just as I thought. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.’

’When all is said and done, it still comes down to becoming an Advanced Scholar.’
